Our #1 Rule is Safety first

We as a group or club can not/will not be held responsible for any and all accidents or injuries. You are responsible for yourself and anyone your a guardian of on all outings and field-trips. Rock-hounding can be very dangerous and safety of yourself and others is a lot more important then anything you will find.

Things you should have with you when you go out rock hounding. Red means every time

We have some of the best Quartz geodes In the US right here in Southern Indiana. I for one am not a big geode fan myself but I do know alot of people go crazy over them. My mom used to pick up every one she ever saw, and would not let anyone bust em open ever. But even I know I am lucky to live in an area so full of a rock people love. Plus we are also in a great area for fossils and I really like fossils.

Don't Forget

Watch for falling rocks. also watch-out for snakes and other Biting things

Not good

Also you need to hunt in places you know are safe. People setup meth labs out in the deep woods and places where you used to be able to go and take kids out and enjoy a day in nature. Not as much any more.
